I would say a user agent spoofer would be more useful for this particular image. The Mozilla team recommends User-Agent Switcher and Manager for Firefox users.

Where can I learn more about using this Firefox extension? I've installed it, but it hasn't changed the results of (https://trilinder.pythonanywhere.com/image.jpg).
